[Chelsea Pensioners] Fresh Arrivals at Chelsea.
Giles Grinagain in et f.
Published Mar 15th 1802 by S. Howitt, Panton Street Haymarket.
Coloured etching, 18th century watermark. 205 x 240mm (8 x 9½") large margins. Some toning of paper at edge of plate.
Two veterans of the French Revolutionary Wars, both still in army uniform, compare notes about their loss of limbs with two older Chelsea Pensioners, also amputees. One of the Old Guard says 'a Rascal of a Frenchman shot my nose off', during his service with the Marquis of Grandby during the Seven Years' War. 'Giles Grinagain' was probably a pseudonym of Samuel Howitt, the publisher of the print.

Coloured etching. 210 x 250mm (8¼ x 9¾"). Thread margins.
An angry French hairdresser complains about the patch of soot left on his sleeve by a chimney sweep, saying, ''Morbieu! You black Devils! see have You make black all my Jacket! How I can go to dress my Lord? for what you not wear white Clothes''. The sweep holds out his left arm, whitened by impact, saying, ''Look ye here, d--n You! what You've done you at Frog - I shan't be able to get the White out for Six Months to come''.

Running away with an Heiress.
Giles Grinagain inv.t et fec.t.
Pub.d by S.W. Fores No 50 Piccadilly Jan.y 2.d 1804.
Coloured etching; 18th century watermark; bottom right stamped in ink S.W.F.. 200 x 230mm (8 x 9"). Trimmed to plate at bottom with slight loss to right.
A fat middle-aged woman, lightly clad in indoor dress, sits on the shoulders of a man smaller and older than herself, who runs in profile to the right. He bends under his burden, using a stick, and saying, 'I think I have got a great Prize at last! 40,000 £ in Bank Stock is a weighty Consideration'. She says: 'How I do long for the Blacksmith! When shall we get to Gretna Green!". Behind them is a short ladder leading from a ground-floor window. 'Giles Grinagain' (fl. 1801-7) made a series of prints published by Samuel Howitt in 1801-2, so is probably a pseudonym for Howitt himself. Some were re-issued by S W Fores in 1804, and in 1807 he is listed as a publisher at 7 Artillery Street, of a print by Rowlandson.
